Beginner Url Rewrite htaccess

Question

I would simply like to rewrite all requests from:

http://example.com/products/product.cfm?id=product-name

to

http://example         


        

Answer 1

Something along these lines:

RewriteCond %{query_string} &?id=([^&]+) [NC] 
RewriteRule ^/products/product.cfm$ /products%1? [R,NC,L]

# Fragile, this assumes that params will always be in order id= then sub=
RewriteCond %{query_string} &?id=([^&]+)&sub=([^&]+) [NC] 
RewriteRule ^/category.cfm?$ /%1/%2? [R,NC,L]

The R flag in the RewriteRule forces a hard redirect (the visitor's location bar will change to the new URL). Remove this flag for an internal redirect.
